How kind, Erik: I am humbled.  Thank you.  I do hope this query by Janet is answered with some measure of evidence and citation, since the question is important to any serious researcher.  I have been wrong many times in life, and if I am again, I surely want to publicly admit of my error. 

So, until shown otherwise, it remains my belief that if I die testate and leave any of my assets to "my surviving children", and if I have previously formally recognized a illegitimate child as my own, or some court has established my paternity, that child will be included within that category stated in my will - "my surviving children".

  I have never known Paul Drake to be wrong on anything he says...so much for
  the sugar-
  coating, but we want to surround ourselves with competent and able and
  helpful folk.
